Bike-Sharing $uck$?
by Waylon Lewis on Jun 14, 2010
Why are Bike Sharing systems so Expensive? Is Tony Soprano involved? Bcycle, a system we’ve been big fans of, and have covered often in the past, just debuted in Denver. It’s a fancy-cool bike sharing system. Click the excerpt above to read the article. All I gotta say is, $1,000,000 for 400 bikes? They better [...]

Jax’s Oyster-eating Competition Sucks (Pun Intended) ~ Elleni Cladis
by elephantjournal.com on Feb 26, 2010
Update: The oysters are from sustainable farms. Not wild-harvested. From brackish river mouth estuaries, not the ocean. Jax supports and funds the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, which is trying to eliminate wild oyster harvests and set those farmers up with sustainable practices. Additionally, Jax has taken all fish/seafood products on the national watchlist off their menus [...]

Dr. Andrew Weil speaks about health care in Denver in 2008. He cites two major flaws in the American health care system and offers alternatives. The first flaw is in our strategy of managing disease rather than preventing it: I would say we don’t have a health care system. I would say we have a [...]

Buddhism as Marketing.

Looking back on 2008, one of my favorite albums of the year was the Fleet Foxes self-titled release. Even though they get a little close to My Morning Jacket’s vocal territory at times, the Fleet Foxes are way more mellow and folky and less rock and roll.
